Cyr
BC: Thank you very much for that warm welcome, thank you very much. As we used to say back in the day, “Goddamn Alabam.” Right? We’re happy to be with you tonight on this beautiful evening. Hopefully the only lightning that you will see tonight is shooting out of James’s fingers. Heh heh heh. We hope you enjoy this classic.
Once in a Lifetime
Solara
Iha: [cuts in] Alright, I see many thumbs up. I’m from the Midwest and...I don’t know, I was always taught that was the thing to do. But uh, thank you guys so much, we really appreciate you coming out. Well, here we go into another interlude.
Eye
Ava Adore
BC: Thank you kindly, thank you kindly. We don’t have much of a show, but if we have a show, this is my favorite part of the show. And that’s where we stop for a second and we get a chance to thank each and every one of you for being with us on this beautiful evening.
Iha: Thank you very much, thank you very much.
BC: Thank you for supporting us, our band, our families, our music. Means a lot to us. You can’t tell by my vampiric countenance...
Iha: Heh heh heh.
BC: ...but I am pleased somewhere deep within. He and I started this band about 35 years ago.
Iha: In 1822.
BC: He had the Johnny Marr haircut.
Iha: I did, I did.
BC: What was I rockin’?
Iha: Uh, you had kind of a post-Floridian...
BC: Yeah.
Iha: ...freak out jam look, heh heh heh.
BC: Psych – psych guy.
Iha: Psychedelic to rock.
BC: Too much LSD guy. And uh, it blows our mind that we’re here with you all these years later playing these songs. ‘Cause we had a dream, we said, “We’re going to Birmingham, man.” What do you think?
Iha: That was part of the dream.
BC: Remember it? “Can we ever get out of this fuckin’ bedroom and go to Birmingham.” That was the dream! True story. So, we dedicate this song to you. It’s a song we like to call Tonight, Tonight.
